THE RED CABIN

The Red Cabin comfortably sleeps three, with a king-size bed and a single daybed. A floor mattress can be provided on request for a fourth guest, making it a lovely retreat for couples, small families or close friends.

Yes, children are very welcome. There’s plenty to spark their curiosity, from spotting wildlife to exploring the outdoors together.

Children must be supervised around the soaking tub, sauna and fires. A cot and fireguard are available on request for our youngest guests.

As The Red Cabin sits within our private nature reserve, we’re unable to welcome dogs. This helps us protect the wildlife that makes this corner of Wyken so special.

We usually ask for a minimum stay of two nights, giving you time to settle in, switch off and make the most of your surroundings. You can arrive on any day of the week.

Occasionally, a gap between bookings allows for a one-night escape. Sign up to The Wyken Newsletter to hear when these become available.

Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 10.30am. Before your stay, you’ll receive a welcome email with directions and everything you need to know.

Please ask when booking. Early check-in and late check-out depend on the bookings either side of your stay, but we’ll accommodate requests where we can.

The cabin and its private outdoor space are yours to enjoy, including the Finnish sauna, outdoor soaking tub and firepit with grill.

You’ll find bedding, towels, robes, sauna hats, toiletries and firewood, along with tea, coffee and a well-equipped kitchen. There are also books, games, binoculars and a few thoughtful extras to help you make the most of a slower pace.

We’d love to welcome you. The Leaping Hare is just a few minutes’ walk across the estate, serving seasonal dishes with a close connection to the land around us.

Please book your table in advance and check our current opening hours before your stay.

The Leaping Hare is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so these are lovely days to cook at the cabin or explore a little further afield.

Bury St Edmunds is around a 10-minute taxi ride away, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. We recommend arranging your taxi in advance.
